Pardon me for intruding on your time, but I've a question or two. If you'd like to humor my curiosity, you have my thanks in advance.

Upon arrival, we've found ourselves aligned with a group without much say in the matter. While I'm most curious about what colors we've flying - so to speak - I'll not ask anyone to speak it out loud.

However, I am curious if you think you "belong," for lack of a better word.

Idle curiosity. Nothing more.

[Faris' eyes glaze over a bit. Her Krile is an evil little imp with the face of an angel. If G'raha's is a grown woman and anything like her... coincidentally-named counterpart... there's no telling what would happen.]

I think it would be time to hide.

[The force of the bad jokes alone would send men leaping from the railings.

...and, oh, right. That did sound odd, didn't it.]

Aye, both planets... 'tis a long story, but to cut it short, it used to be one planet, it got split in two, and then it got put back together. All down to the history of the Crystals.

[afflatusexarch]

Ah... Might you explain that a bit further? If you'd please?

[dammit, g'raha, he gave you the short version!]

It's a long story, and it started long before I was born. You want me to start with the stuff that happened in my lifetime or go all the way back?

[afflatusexarch]

Mayhap start with how it is the star was separated?

[moremystyle]

All the way back, then. And it's a planet. Star's fine, so far as I know, but if it's not I'm sure we'll be called in to put that back right too.

[WHICH SHE REALLY HOPES WON'T HAPPEN THE PLANET(S) WAS BAD ENOUGH.]

There was this evil warlock Enuo, and he wanted to seize the power of the Void for his own ends. Trouble is, that never ends well for anyone, including the scurvy dog trying to use it. A whole crew o' warriors had to take him down--and even so, they couldn't get rid of the Void he'd called forth.

So they used the Crystals to cleave the planet in twain, and the Void was sealed between 'em. It stayed that way for the next thousand years, until the next bilgerat who tried seizing the Void came along.
